1.1 Cleaning the screen and cabinet...

After powering off, wipe the screen and the cabinet clean with a soft and dry cloth. We
recommend that you do not use patented polishes or solvents to clean the screen or cabinet
since they may cause damage.

1.2 Disposing of your TV at the end of service life...

The cold cathode fluorescent lamp found in your LCD screen contains a very small amount of
mercury. Once your TV set has completed its physical life, please dispose of it in accordance
with local government regulations or leave it at a recycling centre.

1.3-Superior features of your integrated digital television

This television can receive and process all analogue and digital broadcasts. This television set
has an integrated digital and analogue receiver. The digital receiver unit processes the signals
coming from digital transmitters and converts them into superior sound and image quality. TV
Guide (valid for digital broadcasts only) informs you about changes in the program list briefly
and provides program lists of all digital broadcasts for a number of forthcoming days. You
can display detailed information about each program by pressing a single button if this feature
is supported by the broadcaster. This television has a comprehensive and user friendly menu
configuration.

1.4-Receiving digital broadcasting channels

You will need an outdoor aerial to receive digital broadcasts. Contrary to the analogue
broadcasts, all digital broadcasts may not have their own transmission frequency. Instead,
various digital broadcasts channels are gathered in regional or national groups called
bouquets. You can find current transmission data from teletexts of various broadcasters or
from TV guide or from the internet.

Note:You should check your postcode to make sure that you are in a freeview coverage area.

LCD panels are produced with state-of-the-art technology. However, there may be black or
lit spots on the screen under certain circumstances. That does not mean that the product is
faulty.

covers on the TV. The screen glass
may break and cause serious injuries if
something hits it.

Motorized vehicles, energy lines and
telecommunication lines affect your aerial.
Therefore, be careful to install your aerial
away from these and metal surface in such
a way that it shall not move. Do not make
your aerial cable longer than required and do
not coil it. Make sure that it is not crimped
passing through a window or door. Your
